yes, i said domino, in the great terrorist threat to north africa. with porous boundary, the militants move easily from mali to algeria to libya, drawing more recruits each day in a land where places like timbucketue signals adventure. the wall of attack on the desert gas factory in algeria say the islamists was a reprisal for the french incursion into mali. according to american press reports, some of the attackers who sacked our consulate in benghazi, also took part in the algerian hostage-taking and murder in the sahara. anyone with a hawkish urging to get more involved in north africa should take note of our record in mali before we hire the contractors and send in the advisers. teams of u.s. special forces have been training and advising the malian army for more than ix years. but last year, the army cut and ran in the face of the enemy. many defected and surrendered their weapons to the militants. even more humiliating for the u.s., one of the malians they were training staged a coup against the feeble government. the new york times reports tha

that's where we'll see senator kerry head pretty soon. >> michael: let's talk about north africa, at least 35 people were killed when the islamists took hostage at the bp facility. is this another area we have to worry about al-qaeda. we talk about it with mali and somalia as well. is this a concern. >> the al-qaeda affiliate in north africa is well-known to mideast watchers and analysts. it has not gotten the attention of the american public because the american public doesn't give much attention to north africa but give what happened in algeria and mali, and the united states is beginning to airlift french troops in so they're playing an auxiliary role. certainly algeria needs to get more u.s.-focused since we had three americans killed there. >> michael: and you know, skipping around the region, what do you make of the poor showing thatthat benjamin netanyahu received. >> he has a little bit of coalition support. he and the party they got 31 seats. you need a majority of 61 to really governor. there are one or two parties that he can join with. i think the big picture here is as i
